Water Resources Engineering

Water Resources Engineering, 2nd Revised edition--------------------------------------------------Environmental engineers continue to rely on the leading resource inthe field on the principles and practice of water resources engineering.The second edition now provides them with the most up-to-date informationalong with a remarkable range and depth of coverage. Two new chaptershave been added that explore water resources sustainability and waterresources management for sustainability. New and updated graphics havealso been integrated throughout the chapters to reinforce importantconcepts. Additional end-of-chapter questions have been added as wellto build understanding. Environmental engineers will refer to thistext throughout their careers.--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: Larry W.
